The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Went to the gunshow, with my son-in-law, about 1 1/2 hours away (Ft Walton)....Wow lots of milsurps.

Found a M91 Mosin Nagant lockring bayonet, he had it listed at $90.00, had $80.00 in my wallet and $1,000.00 plus stashed in my pocket. Pulled the $80.00 out and before I could get into the stash, he said I'll let you have $80.00. So I took his offer and brought it home. Don't know what country made or used the post-war bayonet sheath or if it's a fantasy piece, but it came with the bayonet. The material is a greenish color, and seems a similar to the slings. So one more M91 bayonet and every rifle I have will have a bayonet. Guy that had the bayonet had a CZ-82 but it was rough looking. But found another CZ-82 at another table, where my SIL found a KaBar he liked, that came home with me.

Just my lucky day I guess.......

Cool find. I miss the days of going to a gun show that had a lot of nice surplus rifles and accessories.

I agree with you 100%, the ones near me have turned into more of a jewelry, Cutlery Corner knife shows.I don’t think I have purchased a gun from a gun show since 2011/2012.

I've only purchased 3 guns in the last 9 months. An 1896 M1891 Carcano, 1972 S&W M15-3 aka K38, a 1989 CZ-82.

We left Shalimar Florida for Fort Benning and I missed the gun show in Fort Walton.
I keep telling myself that I need to make sure of the dates the next time we travel to Elgin.
I have bought a number of firearms, most recently I purchased a copy of a Browning High Power. Not sure who manufactured it, but it looks like one but the serial numbers are incorrect.
I did “rescue” what would have been a beautiful Finnish Mosin earlier this year.
The previous owner spray painted the entire stock.
Other than that I bought a few bayonets here and there.
